Kim Hyun Joong… [article] ROMANTIC PRINCE

By: LazerKim As Kim Hyun Joong gain his popularity the love he receives from his growing fan, and the more love he gives to them in return. Love is the ultimate thing that one can give to another person. As I have written in my recent article Work Passion that talks about Hyun Joong professional work attitude, this time he talks about love, how he is as a lover, and his ideal woman to be a part of his life. For the new fans, here’s what Hyun Joong can share with his fans about himself as a romantic Prince!! This video interview was a portion of Love Story Bali two, here’s what Hyun Joong stated in that interview:

KHJ LOVE STORY Bali 2 (Source: leenongkan2)

Kim Hyun Joong stated: Love is a feeling in which both counterparts like each other, isn’t it? I goose-flesh to define love it seems to be too demonstrative and is so disgusting a man and woman like each other, they love each other and that’s all. I dislike a kind of definition such as immortal something ect. Simply we can say love is mutual affection. As for me the ideal woman is modest and smart. Besides, she is not gad around and cares only for me. I am not concerned whether she has double eyelids, it’s enough the merely looks pretty, cute and I don’t mind whether she’s tall or short.

Question: What kind of woman do you dislike?

KHJ: Well, the kind of woman who goes out with men randomly and goes barhopping with men.

Question: Do you believe in love at first sight?

KHJ: Yes I believe so, I tend to fall in love at first sight, it’s my ideal style of love, ignoring her character and the way of talking, I used to be stunned by just looking at her. The moment when I was stunned might be a fateful encounter. I believe in love at first sight and I also experienced, I admit that.

I want to go about woman whom I like first. Thus, I will take care of her with heart and hand. Meeting a woman who likes me first, I may not feel strong charm for her. I need to meet a woman I like first. I want to take care of her more than she does to me. My style of love is to make her feel happiness. If I have to take either love or friendship I will take love. I know there might be some people who take friendship. Let me tell you an extreme allegory, if my wife and my close friend are drowned in water, I will help my wife without hesitation, sorry for my friend though.

MARRIAGE: When I made my debut I said I would marry if I turn 30yrs old. At that time i thought it was far into the future. But thinking that I’m pushing to 26yrs old I realize that the age of 30 would come soon. So I postponed the age to marry to 40!! But if I happen to encounter a good woman I should marry. If I say work is more pleasant than marriage, it seems to be a lie though. i like work very much, I am happy now at this moment I want to enjoy the present happiness a little more. I will marry after enjoying the present happiness. Thus, I will be happier later, because I like kids, I like to have two boys and two girls is the best.

Question: How long can you wait for a date?

KHJ: Probably for three hours. Seven hours is impossible waiting over four hours I will be irritated little by little. Well, I don’t think the birthday is special, so I don’t want my lover to take great care specially on my birthday, rather I like a woman who takes care of me as if everyday is my birthday. Besides I like to do things for others.

LazerKim View Point:

I’m not so familiar with Korean culture and custom that I can only base my assessment pertaining on how Koreans show their love to their partners or display of affection. Hyun Joong is not fond of mushy declaration of his affection, or he’s not demonstrative in terms of relationship. In this interview, it’s not the first time that Hyun Joong mentioned about his opinion on expression of what he feels to his love one. I was quite surprised to hear from Hyun Joong that he can wait for his date for 3 hours!! Well I would think if one really likes somebody he would not mind waiting!!

Talking about marriage, I think Hyun Joong is consistent with his opinion pertaining to this matter. Consistent in postponing, why not, Hyun Joong is still young and I think he’s just right to enjoy life as a single. And the career plans he lay out for himself I would not be surprise if marriage and relationship takes the back seat. Anyway this is his choice whatever, I leave that part of his privacy. Reading from this interview, I think my basic curiosity had been filled up and grateful to him for sharing a part of his romantic side as a real man.

Love at first sight doesn’t only happen in fairy tales, it actually happens in the real life, as Hyun Joong emphasized, it happened to him. In many of Hyun Joong’s interviews and talk shows, he spoke of I think one single person when he was in high school as he met her in a restaurant. He waited for that girl religiously everyday for quite a period, just to look at her but never made an attempt to approach her in that restaurant. Until such time he searched on her number and called her by phone as he started dating her. As he stated, he’s the doer in his relationship, he likes being challenged rather than being chased!!

There’s a video interview in which Hyun Joong talks about the love of his life and watching from the video he looks sad, as he talks about his sentiments over his relationship. He was saying if he is given the chance to choose between love and work, he will choose love although he was still young when the video interview was taken during his SS501 days and had barely started in showbiz. Apparently, he chose his career over his relationship since he broke up with his girlfriend.

In another talk show, Hyun Joong was relating as why he broke up with his girlfriend, and he said, “as time goes we’re growing apart from each other that we just felt we have to end.” Although Hyun Joong do not believe being in showbiz busy schedules might have made them fell apart. In another interview he was asked if he would like to be in a relationship having his career at the same time just like other celebs. He said, “I’m not as good as the other celeb to have their career and relationship at the same time, I still have lots to improve in my ability that I want to focus with, I do not want to leave my girlfriend around while I’m striving, so I’d rather not have any.”

Artists with such dreams and aspirations tend to pour all their time to their careers over the busiest schedule that even time to sleep they barely have it. What more with giving time to hunt for girls they like, and this is true in the world of showbiz. Most of celeb may have relationship but usually doesn’t last long even having a relationship with their co-artist who are busy too!! What more time do they have for each other? Although some are successful having the right amount of time and understanding with their partners and having the same career.

No one can predict relationship or love, that once the cupid struck that arrow into ones heart then they are trap to the love. Specially as Hyun Joong was saying he believes in love at first sight and it did actually happened to him. Well, whatever happens, it’s his choice to deal with, it’s his life, Hyun Joong is a man, he may need someone to be there for him but then again it’s his choice and decision to what he wants. Be where could he be happy, live life to the fullest, enjoy every moment what life has there to offer everyday and live with it. The time to tie the knot shall remain unpredictable.

Romantic Prince in dramas:

In Hyun Joong’s previous dramas which both plots were love stories as Hyun Joong portrayed different characters yet the flower boy image remains in both dramas. His upcoming drama City Conquest though it’s an action drama, the love story is still in the plot and this time Hyun Joong is a totally different character being in love and no matter what character he portrays he shall always be the romantic Prince in his drama project. During his filming in Japan, there were stills shown a gondola which was said to be a scene of a honeymoon!!

In Hyun Joong’s previous dramas he was paired up with two different leading ladies. For BOF he was paired with Goo Hye Sun, and for Playful Kiss he was paired with Jung So Min. Both leading ladies were cute but characters were a bit similar since both portrayed a role of a student same as Hyun Joong in both dramas. In every love story in the dramas, romantic scenes are always the highlight, there always has to be kissing scenes and for more matured love stories there can also be bed scene, but since these scene are shown in TV, the scene are being done in the most discreet way.

One time as I was viewing some Korean drama over at YouTube, I happen to read a comment that says “why does Korean actress could not bring herself to emote on the kissing scenes in the Korean dramas.” I laugh at the comment because I have the same opinion since I have noticed as if most of Korean actress seems awkward when it comes to such scenes, well except for a few that I can appreciate like the lead actress in Lie to Me and Princess Hour both dramas portrayed by Yoon Eun Hye. Among other actress she can at least emote on kissing scenes. At Princess Hour Yoon Eun Hye was a high school student too but she can emote to the scene with feelings of being kissed for real.

Kissing is a natural gesture of showing affection to the person you love, and so I don’t put malice on the said act on camera. The worst kissing scene I have seen was at the drama Kingdom of the Wind. The leading lady was so obvious to be awkward even she’s being kissed by handsome king portrayed by Song il Gook, that obviously she couldn’t even emote or I could not at least see a willing lips to be kissed!! I believe actress need not have to be in an intimate relationship with her leading man just to bring out a simple kiss!! I think it’s just a matter of feeling comfortable with the leading man.

Similar to Playful Kiss, Hyun Joong and Jung So Min did a good work in portraying a young married couple and it shows how comfortable they were as co-actors that made the scenes effective to the audience. In Secret Garden too both lead actors did a good work in their romantic scenes. In all fairness, the actress are the receiving end of a kiss although this act has to be mutual between the couple.

I remember Hyun Joong’s first kissing scene at BOF with Han Chae Young, that he was so awkward that he even asked the staff if he needs to show his tongue in the kissing scene! Gosh he was so naive that I can only laugh!! Then the director said, kissing is not a display of lips on how it should look like but the feelings of kissing and being kissed!! Hyun Joong was so nervous doing so!! He was so cute and naive!!!

In the up-coming City Conquest, we shall see how Hyun Joong matures in the romantic scenes in this drama. The latest stills that we have seen so far was the embrace that showed a lot of emotional tears from Hyun Joong. I have seen some photos of Hyun Joong from different dramas embracing his leading lady , and the difference was quite obvious that in this drama City Conquest, the embracing scene was so emotional and tightness in the act of embrace was rather matured than the other two scenes from the previous dramas. What about the kissing scene which I’m sure there shall be those romantic scenes? We’ll see how Hyun Joong develops to maturity as an actor in such romantic acts.

By simply seeing from the picture of that embrace it somehow touch me already, as I look at Hyun Joong’s face to be filled with emotions of pain and hurt feelings or something but it definitely perceive sadness, if I’m right. It also perceive like a farewell embrace that seem Baek Mir could not let go of his lover!! Oh this must be so sad, after seeing some stills of a honeymoon location set which was so romantic that I can imagine a scene filled with a lot of love and happiness, or some funny scenes there but after which, it’s goodbye embrace! Oh no!!I can’t wait to see those scenes, that over killing my eagerness to this drama!!LOL

A few days ago I read a short post at twitter saying Hyun Joong shall resume his filming of City Conquest soon!! So that explains as to why we don’t see anymore pictures of Hyun Joong in the filming locations. And what we got was a picture of a restaurant owner doing the dishes!! That scene does not include in the drama, may I just clarify that!! LOL Although that picture of Hyun Joong at Jaksal brought a lot of attention to his fans and feeling proud seeing their star idol to be doing the dishes when Hyun Joong is the owner of the said restaurant!! Who wouldn’t fall for this guy’s humbleness!!

Kim Hyun Joong had shared a part of himself over matters in his private life which I do appreciate just to fill in his fans curiosity in the most honest way, that we fans also do respect his private life for himself alone. Hyun Joong has his own way of expressing his affection in terms of love off cam.

And lucky for us fans we got a love letter from him recently, it’s personalize as if we are his partner! Well, in a sense we are, his fans will always be a part of his success and that’s how he always acknowledge you being his fans. His inspiration and strength, that is what we are to Hyun Joong as we value how he sees us, we stay by his side in his journey to stardom.

He’s so sweet can even think of writing us which he normally does specially times like this that he’s in silent mode or work mode! We fans are really lucky to have such an idol who is very thoughtful, and caring. He knows how much we miss him and took the initiative of letting us know he’s perfectly fine!! What more can we ask for, we have more than everything a fan should have from her idol!! A true shared affection between fans and idol!

Kim Hyun Joong in his dramas portraying different characters as a lover having one common ground in the eyes of his fans, as we see him as a Romantic Prince in our heart. A true partnership sharing affection with love and support in our Romantic Prince…

This man is awesome in many ways.How the way he talk, and answered the question is all come from his heart and his mind with sincerely.We can feel his pain,his happines through his eyes, his words. KIM HYUN JOONG GROWN UP to be a man who can lead himself and lead us as well to be more confident and smart to facing the life and sharing with the unfortune one.WE JUST PROUD To be HIS FAN. See you sis,god bless.

WHAT THE?!?!?! So it’s actually true that if you have the same surname you can’t be together/marry etc.??? I’ve read this somewhere before, but I thought it was an actual joke!?!
Lazer do you happen to know why???

hahahaha Hi Cristina!! Thanks for holding back the word hahahaha!!! No I don’t think so, Kim is the most common name in Korea I don’t believe both kims can not marry not unless they have traced their family tree, if they are indeed relatives. Hyun Joong did not say they were relatives, he just said they have the same family names. Being relatives till the second generation can not marry, meaning if the couple are first or second cousins can not marry. although being distant relatives as to 3rd cousin is alrealy allowed. It’s in our religion too since Hyun Joong is also a Catholic.

I was gonna say… WT*$#@ also… but, thanks for clarifying LK! It is the same here in US where our religion is Christian. You can’t marry first or second cousins… I don’t know why anyone would marry even 3rd gen, but if you didn’t grow up knowing each other as family I guess I could see it. No, I don’t believe it was because of that reason they broke up… just my opinion.. but, I think it was because of career schedules. If you are unable to be together consistently, growing apart as he stated happens naturally. Then, sometimes one person wants to let go even if the other doesn’t. I think it was her decision. Some just can’t handle that showbiz environment when in a relationship. It must be really tough b/c celebs date and break up all the time. I think it takes a special person… which Hyun Joong is… but, maybe she was not. It is sad though… poor baby! It makes me love him even more… he does nothing if it’s not 1000%! Yes… i meant to add that extra zero! LOL!

When HJ’s father traced that they came from the same line of Kim’s, he did not approve of the relationship. Thus, they had to part ways. Jung So Min’s real name is Kim Yoon Ji but they do not belong to the same line of Kim’s. So, this is possible.

Oh gracie hello!! May i ask where you got the info? I don’t remember HJ saying about his parents. Jung Min so???? LOL I don’t think so!! HJ never said anything about her personally, it’s all professional. Just my opinion!!
Hey thanks for the info, have a nice day!! see you again!!

Precisely there are hundreds of million kim in Korea it’s a common name. And also HJ is an independent stubborn type of guy I don’t think he listens to anyone not even to his parents reading fr history. and let’s separate privacy & work i don’t think there’s a JMS to link w/nor HB. i think HJ is happy in his single life & so be it. Let’s wait till he declares. I think this will best. Thank you so much and see you again have a great weekend!

What a nice article, dear Lazer! I know what SS501 vid u r talking about, he seemed so sad talking about it D: it was like he was going to burst into tears anytime D: ._. and well, he has not experienced much of a lovelife since he’s still young and as a celeb he’s more focused on his work, I agree with him though… there are so many ppl who rush their life and form a family and they have to give up on their dreams like too early… I also haven’t had many relationships either… it’s like I couldn’t care less xD My passion for work it’s greater…😄. HJ is unifocal so he just focuses on his career, he can’t do both things as he said it himself. I greatly admire what he does on screen, it’s not like he has kissed 95863254 girls in real life xD so he works hard to make the scenes believable❤ But yeah, actresses sometimes are kinda unprofessional and it's lame to see their faces .-. I like kissing the hot way in real life hahahaha xD Korean drama kisses are not my cup of tea xD I swear when I see awkward kissing faces it turns so disgusting xD The other day my friend mentioned the kiss in the rain in PK xd and I swear it could have been better! I bet HJ thought so too! xD ||| About the mushy things I also dislike them. They seem to be so fake and ewww xD straight-forward things are easier and clearer :3 I'm sorry I didn't come here yesterday xD I was enjoying a national holiday xD Thx God I feel good now, grandma's food made me recover from my flu-eish and nauseatous state. \o/ Gosh, I can't get the walking dish-washer story out of my head xD kekeke I'm gonna tell everyone I know about it xD Epic!😄 Have a wonderful day!!!❤

When I saw him singing the song “Can’t have you” in Lotte Fan meeting held on May, I too felt the same way. But I hope he’ll not let it go if he meets his true love. He deserves to be loved by a true lover. Wish him all the happiness in this world…
Oh if anyone wants to see that video of him singing this song here it is >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YEYKxtHWcg&feature=related

Thanks for sharing this clip, why is he so handsome in this video even in the picture from this same event is different!! *sigh* Now i truly miss him!! yeah you’re right he really deserves to be truly loved, i just hope with his passion to his work which is overwhelming and remarkable he won’t end up like his boss!!still single at this time!! Anyway whatever!! all i can wish for is him to be happy which way he decides for himself single or not!
Thank you so much!! have a romantic day and see you again!! take care!

I’m sorry to say for your sake LK… but, I believe he will end up like his hyung BYJ. He is so sincere, and he is so driven. He will accomplish his goals and he will not settle for a relationship he cannot commit himself to wholeheartedly. I think KHJ is going to step right into BYJ’s shoes at KeyEast when the time comes for BYJ to step back as he grows older. Both might be married by that time… but, this is how I see it. KHJ is going to mirror his mentor. bieneyo… that’s just what I think.

Well you can never tell, whatever HJ may decide for himself, it’s his life. BYJ has every reason why he’s single as yet. Anything can happen in the future that’s why I mentioned in this article marriage and love is unpredictable. oh no HJ will build his own he is a very independent minded person. Defintely HJ will have his own thrown he said that, he will have his own identity. Me too I want him to have his own through his own effort. I want him to have his own title. and he will on the right time. BYJ is already a legend and no one will take that from him or his fans will not allow it.

I’m smiling now that I read your reply. I’ve been really sick and unable to get on and read. I know Hyun Joong is his own person… I just think the two are so perfectly fated together that BYJ would trust his company to Hyun Joong if that were to be the way things turned out! read my new article… I have expressed a little more on this opinion there. I think they are both their own person, definitely, but very much alike in some key areas. Hyun Joong may build his own company… or he may take KeyEast when the time comes and continue it’s vision adding his own Alien flair! LOL! Who knows?

You’re sick? Please take care of yourself, have some rest. have you seen your doctor, and get some medicine? You are not allowed to get sick!! now HJ will soon be out there Oct 4 he’ll be in Japan so you have to get on your toes by then. Get well soon please. God bless..

hahaha.. oh unnie my name is there.. Still unnie can find me throgh my ava. I’m the only one who is not allowed to talk here!! I mean that’s how my ava looks LOL! Have a beautiful day unnie.. and Take care as well..

hahahahahahaha…. dinu darling you made my day!!! LOL Yeah now I noticed for the first time your ava got a band aid in you mouth hahahahahahaha I shall remember that!!!!LOL LOL LOL Don’t worry dear I’m allowing you from the bottom of my heart please do TALK!!!! LOL LOL…

Hi LK. First thing first, i wanna thanks to you for posting this nice, touching article. Truly have no idea how I fell while read this. Knowing HJ’s point of view ’bout love or a relationship in general completely open my eyes that this guy with no doubt is absolutely Special! Whoever the girl he loved must be so very lucky.
But, as a fan, let’s cheers up our self. We’re so lucky too since we got a love letter from our only one few days ago. For me, it’s so special that us, fan, could gain such care from our idol. I couldn’t t even believe that those words come straight from him. Feeling how thoughtful & caring HJ to us makes me feel so close to him and over anything i feel so proud to be henecia!

Hyun Joong may not be showy as a lover but he’ll do everything for his love one, that’s him! No words can describe whatever he feels but he makes sure his love one feels his love in his own little way. he likes his lover to be his friend too that’s very important for him.
Oh yes we are the lucky girls!!! LOL He gives all his time for us, so when the time comes he finally finds his trul love then we have to let go and give him that space but our support will remain. For the mean let’s enjoy the time he has for us and treasure it.
Thank you so much, have a happy day! take care and see you again!!

Hi LK, great article!!
Honestly speaking, everytime I hear kim hyun joong talk about his lovelife and his ex girlfriend, I somehow sense he’s still in love with his first love and misses her greatly. It could be my imagination though, but i sense pain and regret in his eyes… I always end up wishing hyun joong reunite with his first love. It would’ve make him so happy. anyway no harm in saying your wishes aloud right!!

LOL and honestly speaking your guess is as good as mine! from 2007 he speaks of this girl, now it’s 2012 yet he speaks of totally the same story of the girl!! Why do we have the same thoughts??? he was in pain because he has no choice but to choose his dream.TTT No problem you’re free to express yourself in this blog site, that’s the purpose of this blog site!! And we’re all here with you sharing the same thoughts.
Thank you so much, have a romantic day!! LOL take care and see you again!!

Not being able to be together just because they belong to the same line of kims is just absurd!! I mean how on earth would a person know that the other person he is meeting will belong to their same line of surnames…i mean you wouldn’t know, right?? close relatives are, ok, definitely a taboo to be together like bf or gf but distant relatives…i mean i heard that girl was a very distant relative…shouldnt’ that be allowed? I feel chazugna😦

Oh I wanna hug you for that, because it was obvious how much he loves this girl!! And yes there are hundred millions of the same name Kim. I agree you can never know. If they are meant for each other come rain or storm love prevails!! Thanks!!

When I saw him singing the song “Can’t have you” in Lotte Fan meeting held on May, I too felt the same way. But I hope he’ll not let it go if he meets his true love. He deserves to be loved by a true lover. Wish him all the happiness in this world…
Oh if anyone wants to see that video of him singing this song here it is >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YEYKxtHWcg&feature=related
